[SR9TGUY]

I recently purchased 7.62 x 51 disintigrating link belted ammo. The head stamps read "MEL 78". Is it ok to fire this ammo in my SR9?
Also does anyone know who and where the ammo was manufactured?

Thanks so much.

Are you sure it is not "MAL" for Malasian? "78" is probably "1978". I have found most 9x rifles will just about eat any brassed cased ammo.

See below link for more info.
